Backgrounds. . .foregrounds. . .

As some of you will know...I've been trying to do flowery, grassy, whatever backgrounds and foregrounds.... well...am useless..will have to keep practising practising...probably would help if I actually sat in the garden and did some life drawing...but it's far to cold to be sitting in the damp grass drawing grass and whatnot....

so my imagination will have to do for now...

A girl just needs to get away from it all sometimes...

As you will see, drawing from photographs..teasels not much better, I tried to make them spikey with delicate buddy things...didn't work, they look more like toilet brushes...but I'm liking my fairies...

I called this one "Bad Hair Day"...

This is also going to be for my Sunday Sketches hosted by Sophia...check out what everyone else has been up to...I know I'm a little early, but have sick people to visit...teenagers sleeping over...house to clean... Bags to organise... Am off to London and Leeds this week... catching up with old friends and going to see my daughter ...haven't seen her since Christmas... can't wait to annoy her with Mummy hugs and kisses...

Catherine I love both of these and I think you did a fine job on the foliage! I want to escape in my garden but I'm afraid it is just as cold here as it likely is there...Have a great visit with your daughter! I love your art!

Thanks for the welcome to Sunday Sketches! This is the first time I've seen your art so I don't have anything to compare against, but I think both backgrounds look great! And the fairies are adorable. ^.^

I so love the backgrounds of grasses etc, that you have been showcasing here. There so willowy and springlike...soft and delicate. I don't think they look like toilet brushes at ALL, lol!i love your style, stay with it!! enjoy your trip, so glad you get to see your daughter! xo
